tiny bantam opponent.

Blended Colors in
Knitted Rag Rug
IF YOU want to make a really
1 effective rug from odds and
ends of fabric—and do it quickly,
this knitted rug is the answer. You
cut or tear the material in strips
about three-quarters of an inch
wide, turn in the raw edges and
then knit straight strips with nee
dles three-eighths inch in diame
ter. These are sewn around a cen
ter oval.
The colors are important of
course and it is essential that the
knitted strips be eased in with
evenly distributed fullness. The
trick is in pinning them in place
first as shown in the diagram. If
you do not have the colors indicat
ed, remember that it is always
worth while to dye the rags so
that they blend harmoniously.
• • •
NOTE—This rug Is from BOOK 4 which
■Iso gives the complete knitting directions
for the center oval and the strips. Direc
tions for more than 32 things to make for
your homes and for gifts and bazaara are
Included in this book. Copies are IS cents
